      Literally just had to spend like $40 on the only VGA cable I could get on short notice. I used to have a box of 50+ new in package cables I got from a surplus auction for half that cost 20 years ago. Still had half or more left from old contracts. Should never have recycled those…

      Keep your old cables.

      I had to spend $20 on a replacement PHONE cable recently. I thought i had a couple spares, but didn’t. And nobody carries them anymore. I finally found a store a 20 minute walk away and he semsed my desperation.
